Abstract

We present a three-party quantum secure direct communication protocol by using Greenberg–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) states and entanglement swapping. The proposed scheme realizes authorized parties' secure exchange of their respective secret messages simultaneously and directly in a set of devices. We show that the scheme is secure against eavesdropper's commonly used attacks. We also generalize the protocol to the N -party case by using N -partite GHZ states.

Controlled Secure Direct Communication by Using GHZ Entangled State

Yan Xia, Chang-Bao Fu, Feng-Yue Li +3 more

We present a controlled secure direct communication protocol by using Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) entangled state via swapping quantum entanglement and local unitary operations. Since messages transferred only by using local operations and a public channel after entangled states are successfully distributed, this protocol can protect the communication against a destroying-travel-qubit-type attack. This scheme can also be generalized to a multi-party control system.

Controlled Bidirectional Quantum Direct Communication by Using a GHZ State

Man Zhong-Xiao, Yun‐Jie Xia

A controlled bidirectional quantum secret direct communication scheme is proposed by using a Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) state. In the scheme, two users can exchange their secret messages simultaneously with a set of devices under the control of a third party. The security of the scheme is analysed and confirmed.

Deterministic secure direct communication using GHZ states and swapping quantum entanglement

Ting Gao, Fengli Yan, Z X Wang

We present a deterministic secure direct communication scheme via entanglement swapping, where a set of ordered maximally entangled three-particle states (GHZ states), initially shared by three spatially separated parties, Alice, Bob and Charlie, functions as a quantum information channel. After ensuring the safety of the quantum channel, Alice and Bob apply a series local operations on their respective particles according to the tripartite stipulation and the secret message they both want to send to Charlie. By three Alice, Bob and Charlie's Bell measurement results, Charlie is able to infer the secret messages directly. The secret messages are faithfully transmitted from Alice and Bob to Charlie via initially shared pairs of GHZ states without revealing any information to a potential eavesdropper. Since there is not a transmission of the qubits carrying the secret message between any two of them in the public channel, it is completely secure for direct secret communication if perfect quantum channel is used.

Quantum message exchanging network using entanglement swapping and decoy photons

Negin Fatahi, Mosayeb Naseri

We propose a scheme for secure quantum message exchanging network following the idea in entanglement swapping. In this scheme, the servers of the network provide the service for preparing the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) entangled states as quantum channels. For preventing the eavesdropping, a security checking method is suggested. After the security check, anyone of the authorized users can exchange his/her messages with another on the network securely and directly.   Key words: Quantum secure direct communication, entanglement swapping, quantum communication network PACS.

A Simultaneous Quantum Secure Direct Communication Scheme between the Central Party and OtherMParties

Gao Ting, Yan Feng-Li, Zhi‐Xi Wang

We propose a simultaneous quantum secure direct communication scheme between one party and other three parties via four-particle GHZ states and swapping quantum entanglement. In the scheme, three spatially separated senders, Alice, Bob and Charlie, transmit their secret messages to a remote receiver Diana by performing a series of local operations on their respective particles according to the quadripartite stipulation. From Alice, Bob, Charlie and Diana's Bell measurement results, Diana can infer the secret messages. If a perfect quantum channel is used, the secret messages are faithfully transmitted from Alice, Bob and Charlie to Diana via initially shared pairs of four-particle GHZ states without revealing any information to a potential eavesdropper. As there is no transmission of the qubits carrying the secret message in the public channel, it is completely secure for the direct secret communication. This scheme can be considered as a network of communication parties where each party wants to communicate secretly with a central party or server.
